Lullaby:  Ode to the Intrepid Speaker, by The Blankie/Carrie

So you have to give a speech

You’re asked to lead a toast

Your boss has put you on the spot

To lead a (semi) friendly roast

Your heart begins to race

Your hands they start to quiver

Your palms they sweat, no topic yet            

 How will you e’er  deliver?

 Your failure you imagine, the laughter fills your head

You wonder if you might get lucky and have a heart attack and be in the hospital instead!

 Really?  You think that would be easier?  You don’t mean that

Your failure you regret     And you haven’t started yet!

Just write some notes   There must be something you can use

Remember we’re all for you     

We want you to succeed

So practice if you will

You won’t fall down—you won’t pass out

Although you fear you will

If you prepare, it’s all downhill

With practice it’s a thrill

You spoke for 5-7    You completely hit the mark       

Sitting back down feels like heaven   because your message lit a spark

You did survive you’re still alive

You’ve totally got this now.  You’re confident

Until they ask you next time.

But now you do know how.
